By now, you have heard that false web rumors circulated saying that Reba died while filming a movie in Austria.

Some stars might find such false death rumors troubling, but Reba is having a good ol' time with it.

"There is a rumor going around that I died after falling off a mountain in Austria . . . while shooting a movie," Reba posted on her Facebook page.

"While I would love to be shooting a movie in Austria, I definitely did not fall off a mountain! Nor am I dead! I am alive and kicking!!! Most of you know this already because I've been giving you daily accounts of [my son] Shelby's race. Oh well. Have a great day."

That was reaction No. 1.

Reaction No. 2: Reba has posted a pic of herself spoofing the classic 1965 movie The Sound of Music, which was made in Austria. Reba is posing as the film's star, Julie Andrews, with the caption, "The rumors of my Austrian death. . . are greatly exaggerated!"
